 the neighbors.  I don't want to shave them off, as I know they will just
 continue to swell.  I would like to know what sort of tools I would need
 to remove the leads without breaking the keysticks.  Thanks

Why can't you file them off? The leads have become corroded because of 
moisture in the air. If you replace the old leads with new leads, the new 
ones will become corroded, just like the old once. So just shave off the old 
ones, and let it go at that. It's a lot easier.
